Debian repositories? Those listed files have 'unbuntu' right in the name! The files I pull from<br>
deb-multimedia certainly don't have that.</p>

<p dir="ltr">It's recommended to stay on the LTS releases, so 14.04 then 16.04. And then, I'm not sure why your trying to install from source (and then instructions for Debian multimedia). As others have mentioned, use the ppa that is provided.</p>
